The Acapulco Vacation (2/5)

Acapulco was distinctly different than San Antonio or Corpus Christi. It felt like there was more freedom and peace here than in Texas.

Summer was intense in Acapulco, the heat was unbearable if you stood out on the sidewalk for too long without a cover. Thankfully, the beach was near the city, keeping bystanders fresh if they wanted a swim.

Today was a different day for Alex. He was going to a bar with the band for the first time. It's been a year since Alex has joined the band and this was the first time he was going to a place like that.

Upon waking up, A.B insisted that they went to a bar shop. He wanted to try out the wine in Mexico, which was something he had in mind since before they left Corpus Christi.

Everyone agreed since this was their first time heading out of the hotel and on to the streets of Acapulco.

Alex was somewhat against going to a bar since they weren't twenty-one years old yet. Chris was still twenty, he still had a couple of more weeks before he was legal enough to drink.

It was he and Selena that were still the youngest in the band; Both of them being nineteen years. They had two more years before they could be able to drink.

Though, it was different here in Acapulco. You didn't have to be twenty-one to be able to drink, so it was strange for Alex. He never planned on ever drink, he didn't know if he will end up trying it today.

But, he was more concerned about Selena since she didn't drink or did any drugs like him.

It was only in Mexico that Selena was truly free to be like herself. She was free to act as an independent woman instead of everyone's little sister that didn't break any rule.

There was a bar near the hotel called Barbarroja, a big place for visitors to try liquor for the first time in Acapulco.

The band members decided to try it out, it was going to be the first bar they visited in Mexico. Besides, there were still plenty of bars around the hotel that they could explore.

Once they entered, they all went towards the seats where the bartender was located. A bunch of wines that weren't sold in Corpus Christi were all located in the bar.

Alex started to reminisce about being in the bar, he remembered when he first met Chris. A young fifteen-year-old teen wandering around San Antonio, Tx. Now at the age of nineteen, he was here in a bar.

They all sat down on the seats and waited for the bartender to arrive. Alex sat on the right side, in the last seat. Selena sat next to him, as well as being next to Joe who was sitting next to Pete.

"A.B, what are you getting this time?" Suzette asked her brother.

A.B observed the display of wins on the wall in front of him before his eyes landed on a specific one. "I'm getting the Opus One, Napa Valley."

"This is my first time here, I don't know what to get," Chris was unsure of what to get, there was a lot of liquor and wine in here.

"Just get what I'm getting," Joe said, making Chris turn to him.

"Like?"

"Red wine," Joe said.

"I think I'm also getting the same, Joe," Pete said. "I want to try out the red wine in here."

"What about you two?" Suzette asked Alex and Selena. "What are you two getting?"

"Water."

"Me too."
